Kasımpaşa v Alanyaspor: mid-table meeting as hosts seek lift and visitors extend resilience | OneFootball

Kasımpaşa host Alanyaspor in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 19 April 2026 at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu in İstanbul, with both targeting a firmer mid-table footing and extra breathing room above the relegation places.

Kasımpaşa sit 13th on 28 points, one place and five points behind 12th-placed Alanyaspor. The İstanbul side also took the reverse fixture in November, winning 2-1 away.

Form points to a tight game. Kasımpaşa have two wins, two draws and one defeat across their last five, including a 2-0 home victory over Kayserispor and a 3-3 draw at Göztepe. Alanyaspor are unbeaten in five, drawing four of them and holding Trabzonspor 1-1 last time out.

Selection could shape the hosts' balance. Kasımpaşa are without suspended trio Kerem Demirbay, Cafu and Rodrigo Becão, while Haris Hajradinovic and Emre Tasdemir are injured. Alanyaspor miss suspended midfielder Yusuf Ozdemir.

Routes to goal may split on profile. Kasımpaşa average one goal per game with 45% possession this season and could lean on Adrian Benedyczak, who has six league goals. Alanyaspor are tidier in possession with 83.64% pass accuracy and nine clean sheets. Service from Florent Hadergjonaj (seven assists) and Hwang Ui-jo (six assists) could feed Guven Yalcin, who has seven league goals.

A home win would take Kasımpaşa to 31 points and could nudge them closer to the division's middle pack. Victory for Alanyaspor would move them to 36 points and may lift them towards the top half, depending on other results.
